Disregard this post, and go below for the correct one. I somehow quoted myself instead of edited! Why cant I always do that...

Hello Joelcrowservo, graemlins/wave1.gif *

The same thing happened to me when I downloaded some 'Pepper' tracks. What will have happened is that the segued tracks will have been separated to facilitate individual downloading: if you stick the tracks back together with an audio program ( Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is good, and free...) and re-save as one file, that should make them more pleasing on the ears... graemlins/smile1.gif

No that wasnt it, its the whole thing. If you download them seperately from different sources, the problem there is youre liable to wind up with differing volumes. This was, I think, from the "Alternate Sgt Pepper" CD.That was definetly one cd I downloaded. I thought the same as you at first, but they SHOULD have still fit together otherwise, as long as you disable the gaps between tracks on your burner. What I've actually had to do was put it into Nero, split the tracks as normal, then split those tiny gaps out as seperate tracks. THEN it fits! But what a pain that is! I just knew there was some screwy stuff on the original LP, and didnt wnna tamper with it.

Hmmm... In my instance, the editing sorted it out - perhaps whoever made up the downloads that you got didn't do a very good job? The mono LP is different to the stereo LP in that it doesn't have 'rills' (or big gaps) between the tracks, but the only ones that are segued are 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / With a Little Help From My Friends' and 'Good Morning Good Morning / Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) / A Day in the Life'.
